Third Division Weapons

Lore & Background

The Third Division Weapons are powered suits constructed from kaiju remains, granting officers enhanced strength, speed, and durability. Each suit has a total power output measured as a percentage called "unleashed combat power," which varies per individual based on their ability, with a maximum of 100%. The suits also influence the strength of an officer's weapons. Field officers are supported by operators who monitor their health and suit output during missions. The Third Division is led by Captain Mina Ashiro, renowned for her uniquely destructive marksmanship. Kafka Hibino, Reno Ichikawa, and Kikoru Shinomiya are assigned to the Third Division after passing the entrance examination.

In Their Own Story

During their first mission, the Third Division confronts a humanoid kaiju designated "Kaiju No. 9," which Kafka fails to eliminate. Later, Kafka is forced to reveal his kaiju form to save the Tachikawa base from destruction during an attack by "Kaiju No. 10." Apprehended by Mina, Kafka is taken to Defense Force headquarters. He proves his value by defeating the Director General, Isao Shinomiya, in a duel. Kafka and Kikoru are then transferred to the First Division, led by Captain Gen Narumi. A year later, Kafka is appointed platoon leader of the Third Division in recognition of his service.
